cornbread casserole

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/18906/awesome-and-easy-creamy-corn-casserole/

maybe the pretzel strawberry salad https://thegourmandmom.com/2010/06/13/strawberry-pretzel-squares/

or spinach/ strawberry salad

Lady, what cornbread mix do you use?

I immediately think roasted Brussels sprouts or cabbage or carrots. I'd definitely want a low starch side since many people would bring a sweet ham. Hmm, perhaps roasted asparagus.

For us it would be baked beans or candied sweet potatoes, cranberries. Lots of good things.

Hash brown casserole & pineapple casserole is what I will be making with our ham for New Year's. Or twice baked potatoes is good with ham. What ever you decide will be fine. I think ham goes with a lot of things.

I think a loaded cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes and a salad would be great. They are simple and tasty.

Another vote for hash brown casserole.

cheese potatoes, cornbread casserole (jiffy corn mix) and fresh fruit.

Trader Joe's has the best cornbread you make yourself. I took it to Tn. to visit my sister and baked it there, they thought it was better than the southern version. We have ham for New Years eve along with every other holiday meal (Italian way) and I always bring potatoes au gratin, everyone begs for it.

What doesn't go with ham!

I'd choose from baked beans, mashed rutabaga with nutmeg, broccoli with cheese, haluski, sweet potatoes, pineapple chunks, oven roasted root vegetables, butternut squash, acorn squash, green beans or green beans with carrots, mac n cheese, or asparagus. Biscuits on the side.

Twice baked potatoes are always a treat. Turnip puff. Escalloped onions. Steamed green beans with toasted slivered onions. Roasted root vegetables.

I don't think you could go wrong with whatever you choose to go with ham.I guess I would serve potatoes au gratin or mac and cheese. I like green bean casserole but many people do not. Baked beans and potato salad is always a good choice. Pork dressing dressing with gravy and mashed potatoes? Biscuits or rolls of course. Ham goes with pretty much anything.

Turnips greens, fried okra, black eyed peas with cornbread. That's what we are having tonight.

pineapple casserole with hash brown casserole

That's what we have at my place

Sweet potatoes (in any form, but we like them baked), green beans, rolls or cornbread or buttermilk biscuits, mac and cheese, salad, jello salads, regular potatoes in any form (if you don't like sweet potatoes).

lentil soup

Scalloped potatoes and asparagus.

We like Glenda's spice pineapple pick ups :-) My late FIL was particularly fond of them, as is my DH.

I don’t much care for hashed brown casserole, but I do like homemade scalloped potatoes. Then have a green vegetable such as roasted Brussels sprouts or simple asparagus with melted butter. Cornbread or light rolls on the side. Ham is so naturally salty, I shy away from a lot of rich casseroles with it. If everyone likes sweet potatoes, could cube them and roast also with a little s&p and perhaps a little rosemary or thyme.

My favorite side with ham is cauliflower, baked with pearl onions and garlic, sprinkled with salt n pepper, drizzled with honey after baking.

My mother always made potato salad when she made ham.

I want to go to Sherry's for turnips greens, fried okra, black eyed peas with cornbread--favorites of mine!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmm...potato salad, if only it wasn't so creamy. Mayo doesn't do well in my digestive system.

Thank you Wanda, I must admit I cheat on the okra since I discovered this:

In fact, I like all the Today's Harvest vegetables, except the broccoli. I like fresh broccoli better.

Green beans, mashed potatoes, carrots, collard greens. I'm hungry!

You can always slice the ham for sandwiches, if your friend wouldn't be offended and you want to keep things casual (tasty sourdough bread, Swiss cheese, etc.) and serve with a nice baked potato soup with bacon, cheese and chives for toppings. Or, do this for the leftover ham, the next day.

Deviled eggs go really well with ham, I think.

Oh, yes, a sandwich on a good bun and some horseradish sauce to go on it, not a lot for me though. Yummy and a glass of iced tea for me too.

Southern green beans and taters.

irma I use Jiffy Mix cornbread little boxes too.

scalloped potatoes! the real dilemma comes when deciding what kind of SOUP to make with the bone!?! i'm always torn between split pea (exorcist soup) and navy bean. both my grandmother's "recipe" and always good.

We have ham, cheesy potatoes, kapusta, pierogi, fruit salad, a vegetable and rolls and breads with pickles and olives. Lots of desserts too. Or is it deserts?

I would do potatoes gratin and a raw vegetable salad (like the broccoli/cauliflower, sunflower seed one or Plan B salad (broccoli, halved cherry tomatoes and Italian dressing).

Scalloped potatoes or potatoes Anna. Anything green for a vegetable, green beans, broccoli, asparagus etc. Maybe a fruit sauce (cherry or pineapple) for those that like sweet with ham along with horseradish and hot mustard on the table as condiments.
Dinner rolls and butter.

I love this Hot Fruit Salad with ham:

1 Large can pineapple chunks, drained...1 large can peach slices, drained....1 C. fresh cranberries....1/2 C. brown sugar....1 T. instant tapioca. Mix together and bake 350 20-30 minutes just until heated through and cranberries begin to pop. Do not overcook. I also like Butternut squash casserole with ham:

2 C. cooked mashed butternut squash...3 large eggs....3/4 C. brown sugar....1/3 C. butter , softened....1/3 C. milk.... 1 tsp. ground ginger. Combine and pour into greased 8" square baking dish. Bake 350 35 minutes Sprinkle with crushed corn flakes and bake 10 min. more ( 6 -8 servings) If you have a Trader Joe's near you they have butternut squash in the produce section already peeled and cut up. So easy. Scalloped or potatoes au gratin goes nicely, too. Any green vegetable. At Christmas time I like Luxe peas and celery:

4 T. butter....1C. celery cut on bias....8 oz. sliced mushrooms....4T. pimiento, chopped....4 T. finely chopped onion...1 tsp. salt...dash ground pepper...2 10 oz. pkg. petite or baby peas cooked and drained. Melt butter in skillet. Add next 6 ingredients. cook stirring frequently until celery is crisp tender about 5 -7 minutes Add peas, heat just until hot. Looks nice and Christmasy with the red and green coloring. All these dishes can be prepared the day before and cooked when ready to serve.

I always make baked sweet potatoes, then mashed with a bit of butter and brussels sprouts with ham. I also love a good mustard potato salad and green beans with ham, but my husband doesn't like potato salad.

My grandmother would make the most delicious creamed potatoes. She parboiled small cubes of potatoes until still firm but softening. In the meantime she made an incredible cream sauce (white sauce) flavored with a bit of nutmeg. The drained potato cubes finished cooking in the cream sauce, under constant supervision.

Her creamed potatoes were a special accompaniment to ham or her spectacular ham loaf. Always on the menu were several delicious fresh vegetable dishes....carrots with a whiff of citrus and maple syrup, green beans with almonds, harvard beets, sauteed spinach, etc.

Nice memories.

Scalloped potatoes and peas (not canned! ew!).
